New England Stonescapes

Hello, I'm Cliff Basford,
owner of New England Stonescapes.
My interest in stonework
began
while working for a stone mason back in 1980. I took to it immediately,
and soon discovered a natural talent for it. In 1983 while taking a
leisurely drive, I came upon a wall that was falling down and decided
to ask the owner if they wanted it repaired, to which they replied yes;
thus New England Stonescapes was born. Stonework is like a meditation
to me and as a philosopher and student of life I have noticed that the
more I let things happen in their own way, the better things tend to
work out. For me, good stonework flows, and happens spontaneously. In
that respect it is like good art. Good stonework requires working with
the natural laws and using gravity to work with you insuring the wall
to be there for many years to come. I look at my walls as enduring
monuments, like Stonehenge, that will be there for many generations,
after I am long gone, and I imagine people wondering, "Who built
these beautiful walls"?
